fdisk works very well (as long as the user knows what he
is doing). You seem to be complaining that fdisk is not
idiot-proof. So what? Idiots shouldn't be using fdisk.
If you would like an "improved" fdisk, then you are very
welcome to download the source code and make a new version.
This is how the open-source community progresses.
